Deep Space Industries To Probe Near-Earth Asteroid

After years of hype about harnessing space rocks as building blocks of a next-generation space economy, at least one newspace company — Deep Space Industries (DSI) — is making good on its promise to send a probe out to an as-yet-unselected near-Earth asteroid (NEA) for a closer look. The hope is that when they do so, DSI will be able to hone its game-plan for actually mining water from one of these primordial bodies.
